This apple pecan overnight oat bowl is worth waking up for. Throw it together in 2 minutes before bed and voilà, breakfast is made. I like to wait until I'm serving to add in the apple. The servings are filling and you can squeeze 3 servings out of it if you like a lighter breakfast. I, however, could eat the whole thing in one sitting!
